Join our updated California PBIS Tier 1 Cohort designed to align with the latest TFI 3.0 features and scoring criteria. This interactive learning experience supports school teams in strengthening prevention-first systems, increasing clarity and consistency across staff, and improving student outcomes through data-informed decision-making.

Participants will deepen their understanding of Tier 1 foundations, refine behavior expectation systems, strengthen acknowledgment and correction practices, and ensure interventions address a range of behavioral functions, mental health needs, and academic supports. Teams will leave with updated action plans, practical tools, and calibrated understanding of TFI 3.0 to guide implementation with fidelity and equity at the center.

• Day 1- Foundations and Systems
• Day 2- Implementation & Practice
• Day 3- Classroom Alignment & Sustainability
• Day 4- Data, Evaluation & Launch
